Dear Colleagues -

As part of the 2012 Fall Meeting of the AGU that will be held in San Francisco, California during 03-07 December 2012 I am happy to announce there will be a session on ”Earth Rotation: Past, Present, and Future”. The description of the session is given below.

On behalf of the conveners I would like to draw your attention to this session and encourage you to participate in it. We are developing a rich session that will cover all aspects of the Earth´s rotation including observing systems, theoretical developments, and advances in our understanding of the causes of its variations. We hope that you will be able to join us in San Francisco for this exciting session. More information about the 2012 Fall Meeting of the AGU can be obtained from its web site at .

Please note that the deadline for submitting abstracts is 08 August 2012.

Hope to see you in San Francisco!

Best regards,
Richard

G006: Earth Rotation: Past, Present, and Future

Current generation measurement systems are providing Earth rotation measurements of unprecedented accuracy, and next generation systems currently being developed and implemented promise to deliver measurements of even higher accuracy. The theory of the Earth´s rotation is being extended in order to interpret these highly accurate measurements, more accurate models of the mass transport within the global geophysical fluids of the Earth are being developed, and complementary measurements from other observing systems such as GRACE have become available. This session will be a forum for discussing these and other improvements in our ability to observe and understand Earth rotation variations.
